Beautifully written, engaging story. Brother Hugh. You write them so well that when you begin to read you know you are captivated and will not stop until the end.
How about the GUY WITH THE GOLDEN RACQUET and his MATE with the MAGIC PEN ... Travelling the World like Soldiers of Fortune and raiding the Casinos in Macau, Monte Carlo, The Caribbean, Middle East and the back streets of London ... and won ... Billy
For my readers, the Billy here is the Billy Lee Long chased by the wild bear in the Swiss mountains in the story! Which reminds me: I've now written read all 142 7-minute episodes of "The Great Fletch" ad they are with an audio expert adding sounds and inserting before each episode: "Previously on The Great fletch.." It's coming SOON.
Hugh, my late mother gifted me “The Great Fletch” on December 4, 2010. My birthday. Anyone who enjoyed this story ought to get a copy of The Great Fletch and read it. It is an outstanding memoir of a man who achieved much in his life and touched the hearts of so many. Only his dearest friend could pen the life of another so accurately. Well done mate.
After Wimbledon 1964 contracted tournaments were to the middle East Tehran, Cairo, Istanbul, Beirut then we flew to Geneva and travelled the beautiful train ride to Luzanne then by Venicular and Cable Car to the Ski Resort to Montana Vermular. ... other Aussies at that tournament were Martin Mulligan and Madonna S ... definitely worth a place to take a holiday ...
A touching story, thank you for sharing this. it is pleasing being able to read new articles from you and your effort to put them together and publish them is most appreciated. Thank you. David Chan
Oh, la belle France. Toujours l'amour triste. Est-ce que le pere de Jeannine qui se trompe Ken? Et porquoi? Parcequ'un autre homme avec plus d'argent et position sociale?
Just in -- a comment from the USA :
"Hello Hughie,
The story is so romantic, a movie would be made out of it...."
If only we made more than 1 or two in Australia it might!

I can tell you're a true romantic Gay -- in fact I know you are.

Just so beautifully told and sad for all young lovers Hugh. No wonder it resonated with so many readers.
Thanks Maureen -- it was even sad for the writer sitting there typing what happened and her beautiful words about her love for Ken.
Yes it was. Sorry for the delay in responding.
Good to hear one of the readers of my War book also likes a love story David,

There you go readrs -- a comment from someone who was in Montana-Vermala with Fletch when he won the title.
Norman, whoever you are -- you obviously played the tennis circuit in the 1960s.
I knew Martin and Madonna S through Fletch.
So who are you?
Hugh
Hugh the tournaments immediately after
Thank you Hugh for another excellent story! Really enjoyed seeing all those wonderful photos.
Yes Peter, I think photos and illustrations are a big part of telling a story in a buddle.
